The annual meeting of Congress takes place on Monday next. The principal question that will likely bo discussed is, "What is to done with tbe surplus ?" Why this surplus in the Treasury alarms some statesmen so much has never been made clear. To some Democrats it seems an aw ful matter. If the source.—tax or tariff, from which tbe surplus is de rived was injuring any body or any business, then it would appear reas onable to make war against and de stroy it. But the taxes from which it comes, as for instance on liquor and tobacco making, are an actual benefit, being upon luxuries that could be dispensed with. But the great mys tery is why this surplus cannot and is not applied to public and good ob jects. The education of the colored people is one that • would promote better citizenship. The thousands of public buildings that could be erected, such as a post office building in every town of importance in the country, would be auother good purpose for using the surplus. Other necessary improvements of a National character could be mentioned. So that, instead of trying to destroy the alleged sur plus, reason and the true policy would seem to be its application to public improvements. Meeting of the Co. Committee. In another place will be Been the proceedings of tbe Republican Co. Committee that met last Friday. The Chairman of the Co. Committee, it will be seen, was authorized to ap point three of a com mutee from this county to meet similar committees from the other counties of this Con gressional and Senatorial district. This has been done by the Chairman. A* to the Congressional district, committees have already been ap pointed in Mercer and Beaver coun ties, laaving but Lawrence county now to act in the matter. The only thing further we have now to sug gest is, that the sooner a district meeting of the committees is arrang ed for the better, as it will be found that much time and labor will be re quired before all tbe details of • new mode of nominating can be perfected And then, after tbe work of tbe joint meeting has been done it has to be referred back to the Co. Committee ot eaeb county for final approval or disapproval Tbis will take time. As to this Senatorial district, the work can be mnch shorter and more speedily performed, being but two counties composing tbe district. We •re not aware of any movement in tbe matter yet made on tbe part of Arm strong County but have no doubt the Chairman of its County Committee will in dne time act in the premises. Tbe two counties, Armstrong and Butler, are so nearly equal in their Republican vote, as shown at tbe late election, that we know of no Senate district in tbe State that tbe counties eould afford to meet each other on perfectly eqnal and fair terms. The object is to get away from tbe present conferee system which has proved it self so injurious to tbe party. An other object is to get away from any appeal to the State Committee to de . cide between candidates, which has proven to be equally injurious, be sides being wrong in principle and in practice. The present conferee sys tem leads to tbis appeal to tbe State Committee. The three conferees are appointed by tbe candidate and are to all intents and purposes tbe per sonal property of tbe candidates, obey ing tbe will of tbe candidate appoint ing them, as they cannot in honor do otherwise. The result is that con ference after conference is held until one party, by stubbornly refus ing to yield tbe other bis clear rights, creates the necessity for calling in some other power than that of the people. So far as the Republicans of Armstrong and Butler Counties are concerned we think they are tired, or ought to be, of tbe interference of the State Committee in making their nominations. As to the preference expressed by our County Committee for tbe popu lar vote system, that, while in ac cordance witb tbe general sentiment of the Connty, is bnt a preference. It will be the work ani the duty of tbe Committee appointed for each district to look over and carefully consider all uew plans proposed and tben adopt tho one that comes nearest to the people and is the fairest and best. All tbe details will be the proper subjects for tho consideration and action of the committees when in joint assembly. A Difference of Opinion. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has tbis to gay eoccerning Rev. W. II Milburn, tbe blind preacher, who served during tbe Forty-niuth Con prcHHs as Chaplain of tbe House of Representative?: "The eloquent blind preacher, Rev. W. IL Milburn, tbe present chaplain of tbe bouse of representatives, is a > candidate for re-election. It is i tbouebt the IOSR is an advan. j tsge to bim as chaplain ot tho bouse, j for if be were alble to see he might not have tbe courage to continue to pray for some members wbo are not op to tbe standard of morality." While tbe want of Dr. Milburn's \ sight is undoubtedly an advantage to him in the above capacity of C'bap-! lain to Congress yet we tbink it is more of an advantage to tbe "some 1 x&emberd," in that be cannot see tbem j spd (now tbeir w!cfc-d ways.

M, CHRISTLV, } r, , W. C. THOMPSON, , 860 *B - the popular vote in Virginia, at the recent election, the Republicans carried tbe state by two thousand ma jority—l fact which naturally greatly encourages the leaders and rank and file of the party, and ha 3 greatly sur prised and chagrined tbe Democracy throughout the entire South. With Virginia in the balance, tho Presiden tial contest of 1888 will be lull of peril for the party now in control of the National Government. The Latest Vote. The only election from which the Democrats yet seem to have gotten any returns is that in New York. Their disproportionate jubilation over their success in that state, however, is simply a stupid confession that tbey had been seared out of tb"ir boots beforehand over the prospect of an opposite result. And they had good cause to be Tbe latest elections have given the Republicans popular majorities iu Virginia. New Jersey and Indiana, having thirty six electoral votes, and the Democrats a popular mnjurity iu New York, having thirty- six elector al votes. In the Presidential election of 1884, the Democrats carried all ol these states It is easy enough, therefore, to understand their con sternation at tbe prospect of losing New York and their great relief when they carried it. If the result had been different CLKVELANO, Pos 1 office and Reform, would undoubtedly have been in bad shape. The Democrats speak of tlm result' in New York as settling its status next year. But why will not the! same rule apply to the three other states named, iu favor of the Repub- : Means ? In Virginia, of course, the ! Democrats can rely with confidence ! upon frauds upon tho ballot to carry , them through. But iu ludiana uud New Jersey tbe reign of fraud has been broken, and they cannot wiu without them. So, as far ah the last i elections are concerned, it is difficult to see ouy other rational explanation of tbe general crowing of tho Demo cratic roosters than that given in the ; Grst Benie'jcca of this article.—Wash-' ington, Pa , Observer.

The teachers, directors and friends of education met according to previ- I ons arrangements at Centre School, ; Wiufield township, on the 15 ult , to organize an Institute for all who wished to attend. The Institute I was organized by choosing J F. i Huizler as Chairman and W. C. • Findley as Secretary. "Primary reading and spelling'" was discussed by J. M Fainter, who condemned the old methcd of teach ing by letter. He believed ia taking some object familiar to the child, writing the name on the board and impressing the child with the form of the word, gradually advancing by supplementing Dew words, until the child can read readily J. 11. Donald ! followed , recommending a picture of the object on the board as an aid. W. S Graff endorsed Messrs. Painter and Donald. Language was next discussed. Opened by W. C. Fiudley, who di ■ vided the subject into two parts—nat ural and word language. The belief j was expressed that the lack of ink in f the study of this branch couid be rem edied by noting incorrect and vulgar i expressions, calling attention to them, j aud so awaken curiosity. J F. ; Hutzler wonld have one or more ex ! pressions on the playground, and then j correct them, a part of the exercise. W. S. Graff thought that easy and j plain words and sentences should be ! used to start young pupils. J. H Donald believed that grammar should be taught early in life aud especially by practical corrections. Geography came Dext. Opened by \V. S. Graff, who would teach by di viding into three common divisions. I Primary geography should be taught ; by commencing near home and by i synthetic methods, passing on to tbo analytic. J M. Painter would draw a picture of the hemispheres on the board and the circles which cross them. W. C. Fiudley and W. S • Graff recommended the use of globes ' to teach the two motions of the earth, its relation to the sun aud other plan ets J. F. Hutzler believed that board illustration was beneficial in ; teaching geography. Recess. Then query box was j opened and answered by the teachers. j Writing was opeued by J. F. Hutz j ler, who believed there sbonid be no j hobby made of writing, but pupils should be tauirht to write a good leg- ; ible hand. Mr. Donald agreed with , Hutzler and Mr. Graff favored set copies. How to secure the co-op ration of j parents was opened by Mr. Donald, | who said that the child betrayed its training at homo by its actions at j school, and that it was not necessary j to visit parents to fiud out their atti- j tude towards the school, for the child ! showed it. Mr. Fiudley observed that those who never visit the school, orco-operate with the teacher,urejmost ! Ij the first to complain and brand the teacher as a failure. Director J. C J Smith recommended the visitiug of j schools by friends of education. This closed the program of the day, and now may we be allowed to add a word touching the altitude of the people of this and adjoining town - ; ships to our efforts to mako these j meetings the fulcrum on which shall Irs overbalanced indifference and opa thy.

Among the laws of 1887, is one to prevent and punish the making and dissemination of obscene matter. The attention of those who are in the habit of defacing walls by obscene lines and pictures thsreon, is called to the third section of the act, where they wili find that a penalty of a fiue not exceeding SSOO aud imprisonment not exceeding one year is imposed on those who indulge ia that sort of amusement. Fences, walls, floor, ceiling, closet, room, passage, hall or any part of any hotel, court-house, school-house, depot or other public places or buildings aro included in the law, all or any one who makes or causes to be mado therein or thereon any obscene drawiug or picture or print, liable to be seen by others pass icg or coming near the same, are lia ble to suffer the penalty of the law.

WATERLOO, IOWA, Nov. 29.—Yes terday was the coldest day ever known in this section at this season of the year, the temperature reaching 38 degrees below zero. How To Use The Surplus. The Philadelphia Press says: "Th«re is a clear stand-off on merit between the plans for disposing of the Treasury surplus suggested by Wm. L Scott and Edvard Atkinson— Mr. Scott fayoring its disposal by loaning it to the national banks at 2 per cent interest, and Mr. Atkinson i urging that it be used in buying the Canadiau maritime provinces Against both of these schemes stands the Republican idea that a good por tion of the money, at least, might well be used in educating the people." —There in goiog to be a dispute between Crawford arid Forest Cuun tiea as to who shall have tho banner offered by the It -publican State Com mittee for the nearest relative ap proach to the Blaine vote of 1884. Iloth these c. unties brought out a [{/' publican vote in excess of that given for Blaine, and th'-y are the only counties in the State that did so. Forest exceeded the Blaine vote on both candidates, while Crawford did so only on the candidate for su preme judge This is no doubt at tributable to the hot light for the dis trict judgeship. The average gain on the Blaine vote in Crawford on a to tal Republican vote of 7271 is 11 .while that in Forest i> 11 on a total Repub lican vote of 710. Both counties have done nobly, and if Chairman Cooper concludes to give each a ban ner no barm will be done.
